Shamita Shetty entered Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 a few weeks later than others but has been performing stunts with quite the dedication. However, what has left the actress surprised is the fact that people have been attacking her on social media with regards to the show. The actress is quite amused with the way people have been posting about her performance and behaviour since she entered the show as a wild-card entrant. Shamita Shetty Responds to Being Tagged ‘Rude’; Her Side of the Story Will Make You Think Again

A source says, “Shamita entered Khatron Ke Khiladi as a wild card entry since she was suffering from dengue in Argentina from day one. In spite of that post joining the rest in the show, she has been a consistent performer throughout. She braved the challenging stunts and suffered various injuries shooting for the show without emotionally breaking down or complaining before every stunt. She continued to surprise the viewers with her strong spirit.” Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 Contestant Shamita Shetty On Her Recent Road-Rage Incident – ‘They Got Aggressive With Me Too When I Stepped Out To Help My Driver’

The source continued, “Surprisingly, it’s learnt that the haters have been planting negative posts on Shamita’s social media platform and other platforms even though Shamita has out-performed Jasmine in the tasks they did together. This included the last one they did together where Shamita put in the ball before her in the cockroach stunt. Everyone knows that cockroaches are Shamita's biggest phobia . Even if she has entered the show as a wild card entry she has every right to fight for the finale as long as she performs her stunts. It seems like trollers are trying to wrongly manipulate Shamita’s chances of winning the show by planting hateful negative posts,” the source adds.

The competition in this season's Khatron Ke Khiladi seems to be increasing with each passing week. And while fandom wars are not an uncommon thing, pulling one down despite performing and maintaining standards of the game, is a wrong move. Irrespective of the circumstances, if one is performing, it will be out there for everyone to see.
